Hi I have a 185cc Mugello CL3 ( one of the early versions) kits that I have been running for a few years now .
I will be looking at changing the rings soon as I am still running on the standard set I got with the kit years ago.
I have heard that the original rings wear quite quickly and that there are some better quality ones out there that last a lot longer but I can’t remember what make and who supplies them ?
Can anyone please recommend ones they have used ....what should I be looking for and from where ?
All help appreciated

hi
I replaced mine off a circa 2005 kit with rings from Mike Phoenix. don't know any more than that.

Cheers Steve

Thanks for the reply Steve but it looks like Mike Phoenix is currently out of stock of 186 ?

robbo speed stocks all mugello parts many thanks martin

Riken rings are a good substitute

All Nicasil cylinders give the first set of rings a hard time irrespective of who makes them, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. You will see a substantial improvement on wear with the 2nd set from the same manufacturer.

Had a quick look online is he only on Facebook?
I don’t have FB

Cambridge lambretta could be a good place to look.

Good luck.

Cheers guys
Checking the above options
I sent MB a message ref these rings to check the suitability and got a message back saying ... “they are the same as Wiseco and pretty sure they are not suitable “ ?? Any ideas ?

Any one used the Grand-sport version ? They seem to be the ones I remember people talking about a few years ago ?

Cheers

It says on the mb site (that link) that they fit
MB Race-tour pistons
Wiseco pistons
Wossner pistons
MUGELLO pistons
Imola pistons
and Casa pistons
They're 64 mm x1 mm wire piston rings,I have bought and fitted some to a Casa 185 kit.

Yep I saw the link and the list and I just asked them what make were the rings ? As it only states race/tour and if they were a standard type ring ? or one of the “longer life coated/ material ” type rings ?
And that was the answer they gave me ??...seemed a bit odd to me .

Much cheaper than MB http://www.lambretta.co.uk/shop/piston- ... -2413.html

Sorry, that was my fault. We have 3000 products and it's hard to keep on top of everything.
